< Salme 132 >

1 Sang til Festrejserne. HERRE, kom David i Hu for al hans Møje,
A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.
2 hvorledes han tilsvor HERREN, gav Jakobs Vældige et Løfte:
Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.
3 »Jeg træder ej ind i mit Huses Telt, jeg stiger ej op paa mit Leje,
He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
4 under ikke mine Øjne Søvn, ikke mine Øjenlaag Hvile,
I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids
5 før jeg har fundet HERREN et Sted, Jakobs Vældige en Bolig!«
until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 »Se, i Efrata hørte vi om den, fandt den paa Ja'ars Mark;
See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
7 lad os gaa hen til hans Bolig, tilbede ved hans Fødders Skammel!«
We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.
8 »HERRE, bryd op til dit Hvilested, du og din Vældes Ark!
Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
9 Dine Præster være klædte i Retfærd, dine fromme synge med Fryd!
May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.
10 For din Tjener Davids Skyld afvise du ikke din Salvede!«
For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.
11 HERREN tilsvor David et troværdigt, usvigeligt Løfte: »Af din Livsens Frugt vil jeg sætte Konger paa din Trone.
Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
12 Saafremt dine Sønner holder min Pagt og mit Vidnesbyrd, som jeg lærer dem, skal ogsaa deres Sønner sidde evindelig paa din Trone!
If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
13 Thi HERREN har udvalgt Zion, ønsket sig det til Bolig:
Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.
14 Her er for evigt mit Hvilested, her vil jeg bo, thi det har jeg ønsket.
“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.
15 Dets Føde velsigner jeg, dets fattige mætter jeg med Brød,
I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 dets Præster klæder jeg i Frelse, dets fromme skal synge med Fryd.
I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.
17 Der lader jeg Horn vokse frem for David, sikrer min Salvede Lampe.
There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18 Jeg klæder hans Fjender i Skam, men paa ham skal Kronen straale!«
I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
